My form have a combo box input, which consists a pair of drop down and text box input. Everything is working fine. The only problem is about the e-mail template.

As for the combo part, when it comes to the field that user don't need to fill in, then the e-mail template will appear their dynamic name for example:

Group: {group}

Is there any way to make it automatically hidden in the e-mail template, if user didn't fill in the unrequired field?

Thank u!

Hi shah.sphere,

There are a few ways to handle this:

1) Use a ghost input, ChronoForms adds these by default. This will hide the {group} bit but not the label.

2) Set Replace Ghosts to Yes in the Email action. This will also hide the {group} part only.

3) Use the same name for both parts of the combo box and disable the 'other' box when not in use so that it doesn't return a value.

4) Use a custom code action before the email to build a new form parameter that is either '' empty or includes both label and value.

Alrite... Thanks for your help. I think i'm going to use the second choice which is replacing the nulls... By the way, is possible to make it set to default value like -?

For example, it will become like this:
Group: -

instead of:
Group:

Hi shah.sphere,

You can set a default value for the field (but that might have other side effects - like breaking the 'required' validation). Otherwise it would mean adding some Custom Code to add the values after the form is submitted.
